Damp Proofing: The Process and Why Choose Fixiz to Do It
Damp is a common problem in many buildings and can cause significant damage to the structure and health of the occupants. It is caused by water penetrating the walls or floors, either through cracks, leaks or rising damp. If left untreated, it can lead to mold growth, timber decay, and structural damage. Damp proofing is the solution to this problem, and Fixiz is the best company to trust with this task.
What is Damp Proofing?
Damp proofing is the process of preventing water from penetrating the walls or floors of a building. It involves creating a barrier to stop water from entering the structure, and it can be done in different ways, depending on the cause and severity of the damp. The most common methods include:- Chemical Damp Proof Course (DPC) – This involves injecting a waterproofing solution into the walls to create a barrier against water.
- Tanking – This involves applying a waterproof coating to the walls or floors to prevent water from entering the structure.
- Cavity Drain Membrane – This involves installing a waterproof membrane within the wall or floor to collect and redirect water away from the building.
- External Waterproofing – This involves applying a waterproof coating to the exterior walls or floors to prevent water from entering the structure.
